#NaturePlants Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world by volume consumed, and yields of its main ingredient, barley, decline sharply in periods of extreme drought and heat. https://t.co/atGuGparBx #Beer

No more ale: Decreases in global beer supply due to extreme drought and heat. Extreme events may cause substantial decreases in barley yields worldwide. Average yield losses range from 3% to 17% depending on the severity of the conditions. https://t.co/r6m

The best argument EVER as to why we must dramatically tackle global climate change NOW has been announced. Fuck polar bears, rising seas or conflict; this is about beer now - shit just got real. https://t.co/tKyu4kQZKqhttps://t.co/PdGOTxs7LU

"...and increases in beer prices (for example, +193% in Ireland). Although not the most concerning impact of future climate change, climate-related weather extremes may threaten the availability and economic accessibility of beer."

For the beer drinkers out there -- an interesting study on the impact of climate on the global supply of suds. In short, barley yields decline sharply in periods of extreme drought and heat. https://t.co/WKFt5gFPVY

#ClimateChange impacts on global #beer supply.
Beer production in #Canada predicted to ⇩30-45% under most realistic scenarios, driving price to ⇧70-230%.
So a beer that costs you $6 today is likely to cost at least $10, and perhaps as much as $20.
